15 Smartphone Games to Play for Free in Your Browser

You don't have to have a smartphone to play popular mobile games like Angry Birds and Words With Friends. If you don't have your phone with you or if you just want more real estate to play in, a Web browser can usually handle the task.

The most popular applications for smartphones may well be games. But some of the top mobile games are also available for playing online. So you can get into the game even if you don't have a fancy mobile device -- or if you just want a bigger canvas to hold your gaming exploits. Either way, all you need to get going is a Web browser.

On mobile platforms, Angry Birds is one of the most popular games of all time. But you can also marshal your angry birds against the greedy pigs for free through a Chrome add-on -- or play it on Facebook.

More than 60 million people have played this game involving a hungry monster that is forever on the hunt for candy. If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer on your computer, you can play Cut the Rope online for free.

If squishy vegetal carnage is your thing, you'll love this action game. Myga.com offers a free online version of Fruit Ninja, but beware: This version is a downloadable toolbar that may want to do more than you want it to.

This Disney game is aimed at kids, but the upper levels can be challenging for adults, too. It can also induce nightmares if you accidentally pipe in toxic ooze instead of the water that Swampy the alligator is looking for.

Many people play slot-machine games on their mobile devices, and Apostek Software makes some of the most popular of these. To complement its mobile apps, Apostek makes slots for Facebook, where you can play Tropical Paradise Slots for free.

Not all mobile games work well in a Web browser, but some make it there in an altered form. Ragdoll Blaster, for example, receives the full graphic animation treatment in its mobile incarnation, which costs $2.

Online on Kongregate.com, there's something called RagDoll Cannon, which has its own primitive charm and is free.

Yahtzee, another classic game, has inspired various knockoffs in the Android Market -- Yatzy, Yam's and Yamzee, for example -- and a stunning official version for the iPad. But even without a mobile device, you can play the game at Pogo.com.
